As ever this blog too is inspired by one of those TV programs...Sitting home with nothing much but studying to do am more often pushed to watching TV.And today I was watching Believe it or not! A medical miracle.At least teh program was a lot better than one of those saas-bahu serials!
The story goes like this,this guy from Africa(i think) has had a bone deformity, that is so rare that the disease does not even have a name!!!The problem, the deformity has forced him to walk on four legs, just like an animal!!!!Such a rare case...Many of his neighborhood doctors gave up and he was left stranded for long with this deformity.But then he finally finds one who dares to give it a try. Surgeries, that would either leave him in a wheel chair forever or if successful could make him walk like anyone of us!!!An experimental surgery that could go either way!The doctor succeeds and this guy walks like us!He speaks of his dreams to study and be a teacher.It was brave on part of the guy to have lived with such deformities and keep trying to get it right when almost everyone gave up on him....and what to say about the DOC???????He has now set things right for a man.....made him dream, made him stop worrying about his deformity and live life the fullest.
More often, we have spoken of Doctors demanding huge fees and infact even accused them of being heartless many a time!!!But there is always the other side of the coin!How many of us have spoken about these people who could have saved many lifes, who have bought many lives into the world , and those who have made these miraculous achievements...that simply leaves us spell bound.
Often we have criticised doctors for being heartless, accusing them of seeing the patient more as just a 'case' than a human. But each day they see so many whining, so many suffering from pain and still to be continuing in the same job for years...they are not heartless but they have just learnt to not show the pain out!!!And Doctors have families too...many of us would have vent out feelings in our workplace or colleges once we have had a small fight in the family!!But for a doctor..to vent such an emotion could cost a life and who could have realized this more than a Doctor.All I could simply think after watching the story was...Miracles do happen and Doctor's demonstrate it more often than anyone.

Another good one sowmya... I agree that miracles are being done by docs. and they do have to be given a good recognition.. hats off to such docs but wat abt the ones who arent upto the mark.. who cant even behave as a avr docs..? i have had personal experience wit that.. while the doc who are real life savers are being held equal to god still even in these mordern times... these go for nothing docs need to given critisism that they deserve.. But broadly speaking i agree such docs are gods and not mere incarnations!!
hey cool post!!.. that too the point on things like they have families and docs seeing all problems throughout their life.. its jus amazing profession..
Hey sowm,
Amazing post..u ve spoken my mind..for a long time i wanted to post on doctors especially after my sister gt afflicted wit Bells Palsy ,some strange disease..It was obvious for my mother to get tensed and a scale higher bcos my sis is a girl and in India sny such problem ( even if its temporary) wen comes to girl is considered to be a gr8 worry..But the doctor was so kind.Mind u he was in the hospital frm 6 o clock in the mornin and we went at some 4 in the eevning.He was so calm in the explainin the whole problem to my mother and assuring her tht its not a major worry..Now the point tat i try to draw here is tat 5 mins of conversation wt tht doctor cud passify my mom and guarentee tat the problem indeed will be solved in a couple of months..I cud see a GOD in him at tat time coz seldom ll a human have so much patience to tolerate cryings , shoutings of patients coming and yet bring a smile of confidence on their face..
And i completely agree wt wat Senthil has said
Docs are gods and not mere incarnations!!

Especially, in cases of emergency, it's really maazing as to how they keep their cool when they fight to save lives!!!
